KR> RV versus KR control responsiveness

OH Jeez Ron you've started it now:-) The first thing off my mind is the ol KR is more sensitive/responsive (you pick:-) in pitch. Rollabout the same. Takeoff, big difference simply due to engine size, RV off the ground faster. Keep in mind though, these are two totally different

KR> RV versus KR control responsiveness

Thanks Dana. I should have mentioned why I asked the question. It was not to start a flame war. As it seems the control responsiveness of an RV-6A is closer to a KR than a Cessna 172 then time spend getting used to the RV should contribute to a person flying the KR more safely. For a person who

Larry said: Common? I think not. It seems most develop their proficiency in the solo mode. I have to agree with Larry and expound: Get ALOT of recency! You need to be on your game like you were the day you passed your PPL, so that the only variables are limited to the KR itself. Recency in type

Colin Rainey, Just read your thoughts about first flights in a KR2, I'm building a KR2 and it's my first shot at doing that got my PPL in "66 and have owned six planes since then but have not had a plane for twenty years, and was a little apprehensive about first flight,but you made me

KR> RV versus KR control responsiveness

I hope to go make my first flight within the next week or so. A few years back when I bought my previous aircraft I went through the same dilemma. I had no tail dragger experience, and the only available aircraft to get time in was a cub, I read up everything I could find relevant to cubs and my

I had an RV-7 try to chase me the other day. I would slow down to 150 mph and he would come up on my wing. I would let him settle in and the start slowly moving the throttle forward at about 170 mph He would peel off. I found out from some folks on the ground later that he told them he could not

This is just plain music to my ears! I can't wait to get that 3100 demon of mine fired up. Randy Smith wrote: " I had an RV-7 try to chase me the other day. I would > slow down to 150 mph and he would come up on my wing. > I would let him settle in and the start slowly moving > the throttle
